One thing though: a Mennonite farmer's market actually sounds like a pretty cool deal to play. If you can find a way to connect the music thing with the whole local food, farm-core type of scene, you might be onto something!
Love it here, but miss that Pleasure Point Pizza. Also, Pearl Jam playing to 800 at the Catalyst Club in 93 was one of the best nights of my life.

Second -- did this kid win a "publish my story in the Stranger" auction item? This is not up to the quality of writing I expect from a Stranger feature.

YOUR HAIR'S TOO LONG
AND SO IS YOUR SET
@AllTheRestOfYou: Just reading your comments makes me feel sad for you. Your smug self-satisfaction about your pitiful crucifixion of this unarmed author is thoroughly Pyrrhic; it reveals only this: you are small people.

Also you're a quitter and a bitch.
It is never cold enough, long enough to wear long johns in Seattle, unless it's a brief cold snap and your job involves you being outside all night long.
just figured I couldn't let any argument on here go without a rebuttal
Or are people at my advanced age still making music that is relevant to the youth?
Hey, Ben Bishop, thanks for the article. From one musician to another. None of these wannabe cocksuckers have any idea what it's like to do something creative for a living. And thy especially have no idea what it's like to have to learn from it.

But why would you leave Santa Cruz to try and make it in Seattle? Santa Cruz is known for its music scene; Seattle is known for its music scene circa 1993. If you were going to leave Santa Cruz to "make it", wouldn't you go to an actual *big* city like L.A., New York, or Berlin?
@117: if you think the weather's better in the midwest, you obviously have a) never been there and b) never looked at a national weather map: http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/graphic…
The fucking top of a fucking sports arena collapsed because of all the snow in Minneapolis, Chicago is windy and cold, and the whole damn midwest is unbearably hot and muggy during the summer.
My advice: switch to accordion or banjo (you don't even need to learn how to play them!) and more to New York, Minneapolis, or Portland. You'll be a star.
i think it's easier to pick things apart and whine and complain and be negative, then actually try and get something from it.
1. Piano Lessons.
2. Find your voice. Take a moment and figure your voice out. This sounds typical and predictable.
3. Hollow sounds and mechanical intonation.
Did you play for professional people? If so, did you get notes from them? Maybe whatcha need is good feedback and coaching vs. quitting.
sounds like you loved the idea of being famous. If you were in it for the sake of making music, you'd still be doing it.
For me, I loved the article. I though you told the truth and and I found the journey interesting. Maybe because I like the idea of experiencing life a little by actually getting off the couch and doing something.
